A Colorado Research Project

Presented by Anna S. Mueller, PhD. This FREE program also qualifies clinicians or professionals for (1) Continuing Education credit.

Schools are widely recognized as a critical place for suicide prevention, and yet, despite years of research many of our school-based prevention strategies are hard for schools to sustain, particularly when resources are limited. This situation is becoming increasingly critical as rates of youth suicide and reports of school-centered suicide clusters climb.

Drawing on data from a collaborative (community-engaged) project with multiple Colorado high schools, this study offers insights into how to improve school suicide prevention strategies by leveraging existing strengths and systems that are already in place.
